Which item is included in the SCOFF questionnaire?

• A. Would you say you eat more than you intend to?
• B. Would you say you worry about calories?
• C. Would you say food dominates your life?
• D. Would you say you binge eat occasionally?

Answer: (C)

The key idea is recognizing quick screening questions used to flag eating-disorder risk. The SCOFF questionnaire includes a statement about how much food dominates your life, and this exact item is part of that tool. It’s included because it directly measures the level of preoccupation with food and how heavily it influences daily life—a common feature in eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia.

The other statements aren’t part of the SCOFF five-item set. They describe concerns about calories, binge eating, or general eating behavior, but they don’t match the specific questions SCOFF uses.
